Intro Chords
Out in California, a rock star from Canada
Wrote a couple of great songs about the bad s**t that went down
"Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly told some truth
But there were a lot of good folks down here and Neil Young wasn't around
Meanwhile in North Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd came to town
To record with Jimmy Johnson at Muscle Shoals Sound
And they met some real good people, not no racist piece of s**t
And they wrote a song about it and that song became a hit
Chorus
DG
Ronnie and Neil, Ronnie and Neil
FBb
Rock stars today ain't half as real
DG
Speaking there minds on how they feel
FD
Let your guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil
Intro chords
Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song
Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song
So he wrote "Powderfinger" for Skynyrd to record
But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet Home Alabama" to the lord
And Neil helped carry Ronnie in his casket to the ground
And to my way of thinking, us southern men need both of them around
Chorus
